Is an old Ruger M77 (tang safety, 1988 vintage) action worth building a custom on??? The bolt works fine and the trigger feels almost identical to my Sako 85.
I would like to chamber it to a 7mm Dakota, put a Lilja barrel on it and a McMillan stock and make a 1K rifle out of it.
Another consideration is will the Ruger style rings hold a 32oz NF NSX well enough?
Is it worth doing some work on it and trueing it up, or, should I just retire it?
Any opinions or comments?
Thanks,
Mark
